show up late to school
cruise around the dormant metal detectors
right into the desk
evading the teacher’s questions
almost the right time
mad rush for the cafeteria
stop in the sea of faces
crouching down, opening the bag
rigid silence spreads
every eye suddenly on the same place
aim at a nearby girl
metal hits the floor amongst crazy laughter and
Screams
Nice job! :)
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! This was amazing. and scary. ;) Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you both. ^^
ReplyDeleteThis follows along my usual poetry theme. I felt like I was running out of steam with the childhood thing so I went back.
Really haunting.
